Truely shallow reef tank build

[spit.fire]

Well now that my 8' tank is gone, time to start on a new tank

I put in an order for a new tank from concept aquatics

Going with a very shallow peninsula tank with a large footprint (72x30x12)

It will be a reef/frag hybrid system

Started building the stand today, might finish it down the road when I'm not so lazy....



2 coats marine primer


3 coats semigloss black


Just need to do all the woodwork (at least the parts that need to get done before the tank goes on...)

Front section of the stand will be closed in on the sides with shelving for electronics, and a bit of storage with a door on the front

Sides will have 2 doors per side with those fancy soft closing cabinet hinges but I might just get doors made to match the color of my kitchen (I don't like doing edging on doors... Or anything)


Back will be open
